Futurível

, Brazil
Futurível is an editorial collective formed by architect Carolly Barbosa and architecture student Alice Piva to discuss speculative architectures with sociopolitical orientation. Futurível intends to propose socially oriented architectures, capable of imagining integrated worlds from the subversion of economic power relations and fomentation, discussing contemporary problems from a Latin perspective, specifically from the Brazilian northeast.

Incontinent Object


Sanitation system with above-ground pipes and simpoietic communities for João Pessoa, Brazil
Above-ground pipes and simpoietic prototype communities to integrate natural cycles of food production, ecological demands and waste treatment

  • Site-specific cases

Driven by the approval of Bill 4162/19 of Brazilian Executive Power and João Pessoa's cartography of the commons — presented by Gota D'Água Project at BRCIDADES regional forum in December 2019 — this proposal discusses sanitation problems in cities of northeastern Brazil, rich in estuaries and mangroves, speculating solutions to tackle problems of waste pollution in slums and nature reserves in a Chthulucene era. The conciliation between architectural spaces and service structures, since the eighteenth century, seems to approach hermetic systems but bring us closer to collapses similar to those imagined by Terry Gilliam’s Brazil: "... tubes burst from partitions and Homasote ceilings, a sort of hernia that airs the scandal of the interior” as pointed by Comaroff and Ker-Shing in Horror in Architecture (2013). We chose for the use of digital collage to express a design intent, using brazilian art such as vegetations from Tarsila do Amaral’s paintings and natural science illustrations.
